The State of Israel

Arab Joint List won 14 seats in the March 19, 2015 election, an increase from 11 in 2013. Likud won 30, but has joined with other parties to form a government. Arabs have always been in government since the beginning of Israel, but never this many.

The State of Israel, a parliamentary democracy, borders the Mediterranean Sea, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and the West Bank, Egypt, the Gaza Strip, and the Red Sea. It became an independent nation on May 15, 1948.

From AFSC (American Friends Service Committee), July 21, 2014:

With heavy hearts AFSC staff around the world mourn the untimely
death of Abdullah Mansor Abu Amara, killed on Sunday July 20th by
Israeli military forces in Gaza. Abdullah, 22 years old was an active member of AFSC’s Palestinian Youth Together for Change group in Gaza and had plans of becoming a lawyer. Abdullah is one of hundreds killed in recent weeks. Please take action today and help AFSC to call for real peace. http://bit.ly/ceasefirenow

Stop the Palestine Holocaust. SJ Dodgson MJoTA 2014 v8n2 p0725

Gaza is not a Jewish or Islamic problem. Two groups of people living on the same land (plus visitors) want to kill each other no matter what. The citizens of Palestine and Israel are being kicked around and blown up by both groups and my taxes are helping pay for the Israeli weapons. The citizens of Palestine need to become Israeli citizens and not third class citizens; that is the only thing that will stop war. I call that love. Love is missing.

Vote out Netanyahu. SJ Dodgson. MJoTA 2015 v9n3 p0311

Netanyahu believes he is president of the United States
of America. On his personal website, he posts his speech to "Congress".
Not "US Congress" or the "Congress of the peoples of the United States
of America."

And then, a week later, 47 Republican senators,
senators of the Congress of the United States of America, sent a letter
to Iran saying that our president, the elected president of "we the
people" does not speak for the people of the United States of America.

Israel,
please stop this madness. Israel, vote out this dangerous man who bites the hand that feeds him: the United States of America where he lived, was educated and which funnels money into Israel.

Many of my children's
Jewish relatives died in the German Holocaust, including Anne Frank, and their father was born during the German Holocaust. Please Israel, stop the Israeli oppression of Palestine and the Israeli
rule of the United States.
